“Why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states and cities, in all cases Democrat run and managed, when most of the other states are not looking for bailout help? I am open to discussing anything, but just asking?” Trump wrote on Twitter. Congress has allocated $150 billion for state and local governments, but governors requested another $500 billion and cities and counties want $250 billion to cover the costs of responding to the outbreak and replace lost revenue.
But other Republicans, including Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, who chairs the National Governors Association , and some Republican senators, support funding for state and local governments.
